A 625,000 gns yearling son of Frankel, SPECTACULAR STYLE shaped promisingly amidst clear greenness when finishing runner-up at Redcar last month and with above-average improvement a distinct possibility, Roger Varian's 3-y-o is fancied to go a place better at the expense of Rajasthan, who showed plenty of ability when placed on both outings last year. Sgian Dubh can fill out third spot.
